Unearthing Miss Emerson

Our guest speaker this morning will give a sermon about Mary Moody Emerson, Ralph Waldo’s eccentric and influential aunt. Her story reveals how fragile our rights are, particularly for women and marginalized members of society, and how vulnerable and yet transforming nature is. Miss Emerson’s story is our story.
